Being Allergic To Penicillin, Why Do I Have Sore, Painful Breasts After Taking Keflex?

After I started taking Keflex my breast got very sore with some burning pain. I am allergic to penicillin and this medicine seems to have been not so good for me. I took it for 10 days ending last Friday, the 14th and I'm still experiencing these symtoms.

breast pain with burning sensation would raise suspicion for skin infections like fungal infections. it could also represent an allergic reaction. I would recommend seeing a general physician or a gynecologist to have it evaluated to rule out anything serious.
